Kimber Ultra CDP 1911 Gun Review

[@KenCasey]

I purchased the Kimber Ultra CDP in .45 ACP in 2004. It’s been very reliable and very accurate. It’s very carryable, concealable, and still in the rotation.

[@AllAboutSurvival]

The Kimber Ultra CDP's sleek design and Custom Shop features make it a top contender for daily carry. The option of .45 ACP or 9mm adds versatility without compromising on performance.

[@garyK.45ACP]

In 2001, my wife and sons collaborated to buy me this handgun for my 50th birthday. Mine is a two tone blued/stainless. .45 ACP, of course, because it is a 1911. It was my preferred Off Duty carry handgun until I retired from LE. I still carry it occasionally. My only complaint was that the original grips were very sharply checkered and abraded my tactical muffin top. I removed the factory grips and have them in the box the gun came in, and bought a pair of smooth rosewood grips for it Great handgun! Absolutely outstanding. I suggest anyone with a Kimber Ultra series get one of the NDZ takedown tools for the Kimber. They are cheap and make the disassembly process much easier.

[@kentdurham2716]

That frame must have been made in their N.Y. Plant before they moved to Alabama?

[@garyK.45ACP]

@@kentdurham2716 Yes. Many years before they moved. It is marked "Yonkers, NY" The gun was purchased new in 2001. I do not know when it was made exactly, but I would guess in 2000 or early 2001.

Fantastic Sootch! My Kimber full size has 20 years of experience and still awesome! Thanks

[@sootch00]

I'm a fan and this one is gorgeous! Thanks Brother!

[@mikecarroll5853]

I've had this one for decades. Incredibly accurate production piece. Perfect for my hands and not one hicup ever. Stunning to me how i see in social media issues posted. Ive had none and can only assume that training and letting it cycle is the issues. Your life is worth the price for its availability in personal carry.

[@kishk1]

Purchased last week the Kimber ultra cdp in 9mm. Lube and dire fired with bore laser all weekend and went to the range today. Amazing- accurate, comfortable and flawless. The feel of a full size in this little package. 400 rounds and broke it down. The barrel was pretty dirty - cleaned with bore cleaner however, the rest stayed pretty clean. Wiped down with dry cloth only. Very happy with this purchase.

[@Hunter-nu7uw]

I agree with GaryK. I have a first Gen Ultra CDP II in 45 ACP and it is dead accurate. It rivals full size accuracy in a compact package. Low recoil too. A quality product from Kimber. I can’t speak about future generation models, but this Gen model delivers and exceeds expectations.

[@CarrieWard-ny1zl]

Yeah, me too it says custom shop in smaller print And the frame is more gray than charcoal , I put the Magwell on it add the crimson laser grips is accurate as hell and I use Wilson combat mags… even the break-in. I had no problem.

[@Johnnyo1300]

I’ve owned my Kimber ultra carry two for a long time 45 ACP not for the timid, but somebody with a little hand, strength and some arms. It’s a great firearm plenty accurate enough at close range. Personal protection doesn’t get any better you can spend more to do the same job you spend less you get what you pay for appreciate your Contant. Have a great day.

[@sootch00]

Thanks Johnny!

[@Grodd70]

Great review. I have a Kimber Ultra Carry II with Crimson Trace grips. It has been super reliable. I know some people have had issues with Kimber but mine has always worked with FMJ and various hallow points. Been a great gun.

[@sootch00]

Thanks Grodd!

[@TruthIsHardToTake]

My very first gun was a Kimber 1911 full sized 5" Custom CDPin 45 ACP. I learned shooting it at 59 years of age, shot all of my concealed carry classes with it and outshot everyone else in the class and took shooting classes with it and out shot younger shooters, with more experience, shooting 9mms in a tactical shooting class. The trigger is great and the capacity It has been a reliable gun for the past 15 years. John Browning was a gun making genius. I own more than a dozen Kimber, 1911's and revolvers. My most recent Kimber is the Kimber Carbon Carry R7 Mako. They are all quality products.

[@robertallen8841]

I have the Ultra Raptor II in 45. Great shooting and actually reliable. Put the Hogue rubber three-finger insert under the grip panels and it made a huge difference. The guide rod though? What a pain in butt.

[@sn223800]

I love most all 1911s... LOVE this video, thank you! My Dan Wesson Commander Classic 45 is my favorite... love the Kimbers and their new take on a classic -- It's all about fit & finish & performance --- I have this beauty as an EDC and I love it -- Thank you

[@ArtofHunter]

Only Kimber I have left is a Micro9 because it's the only one I've had that works. Worst was a Raptor 45 that absolutely wouldn't run no matter what and Kimbers PoS CS refused to even look at it until I shot 500 rounds through it. I couldn't even get that gun to chamber a round let alone shoot and I even used WC mags. Kimber will never get my money again.

[@berniestraight126]

True scott with Kentucky ballistics pulled out his brand new kimber and what happened jamb a magic could not get it to chamber a round not one on his you tube channel go look kimber was going to give him the push off except it was on you tube and they couldn’t just for fun a break in isn’t 500 rounds of FTF and fte it’s 500 rounds of a FTF once in a once in a while not every other round

[@larrnew]

@DoggleggLol… that’s what I was thinking… what is he talking about??

[@murphymmc]

I started out with polymer framed, striker fired pistols, after a couple of decades I picked up the Pro-carry in .45ACP. Closing in, if not surpassing, a 10,000 round count through it. Like you, I shoot it more accurately than any of my others. I've replaced a grip screw (compliments of Kimber) and replaced the springs as needed. Absolutely stellar reliability. Apparently I missed the production run of "problematic" pistols from them as my experience is the opposite. For those having issues with their 3" Ultra 45's, grip strength is key, improve it, you can get away with limp wristing in 9mm.

[@tomgiorgini9154]

in my experience all these guys crying about kimber, most problems are user error I have 4, 3 1911s and a micro 380 never have had a problem with any of them, but I also know how to tune an extractor and properly fit a firing pin stop, many of these criers would need help changing a light bulb

[@p.kallas6692]

Man, That little one got some heavy power. And it is a beautiful piece to. Totally a favorite.

[@Crankinstien]

[@sn223800]

By far one of the best reviews of an Ultra by Kimber

[@ericlewis7692]

Just bought an Ultra CDP in .45, 4th round through the gun and the rear sight flew off. Sent the slide back to Kimber, they fixed the sight issue and had it back to me within 7 days. Love the gun but am wondering about a quality issue. I've now had about 200 rounds through it with 2 rounds hanging up on 2 separate occasions. Will try different ammo.

[@BosleyBeats]

I have had two of these at different times in 45. Both had quality issues. It made me want to dislike Kimber. They looked beautiful in the safe, but that’s not what they are for. Won’t but their guns anymore. I’m glad yours works Sootch.

[@petervoyt24]

Purchased a Kimber 45 ACP several years ago, one size up from the one in the video. Nothing but trouble. Had it worked on by 2 gunsmiths and it still stove piped and would eject cases into your face. Finally got fed up and sold it. I'm like you, I'll never buy one again.

While it is a classic for the $1k, weight, no rail, no optic, 8 rounds there are better options. Plus, Kimbers quality is hit or miss.

[@jamesalbin6194]

You are right that's one beautiful handgun. I have never owned a 1911 but that would be a nice one to have.

[@TXGRunner]

The original was released in late 2000, early 2001. In February 2001, I paid a little over $1100 ($1941 in 2024 dollars) for my CDP (used a $1000 bonus from my anti-gun employer). The original had a much heavier melt treatment, the grip heel was not rounded, and the MSH was plastic. Back then, the Custom Shop was a real place and they hand-fit these guns. That was true until about 2004-2006. If they really are doing that again, kudos to Kimber. Provided I cleaned it every 250 rounds and used Wilson Combat mags, I never had a hiccup. At classes, because it was so tight, I had to clean it over lunch, and at night. I took it to more than 6, week-long classes. I have many, many thousands of rounds through mine. That gun is a tack driver, even at 25 yards. That was my EDC for over 20 years. Now I carry a Dan Wesson Guardian in 38 Super. I am also converting a Dan Wesson Valor in 10mm to 357 Sig as an alternate. I've always wanted to replace the MSH on my CDP. I also really like radiused heel of the grip on the new one. If they made it in 38 Super or 357 Sig, I'd buy a new one.

[@northamericancannonllc]

i own a dozen 1911's, my favorite by far to carry & shoot is the kimber ultra cdp. thousands of rounds fired through it- still looks and operates like day 1. not a single misfire of mechanical issue.

[@sparkplug0000]

My Kimber CDP (in .45 ACP) is an Ultra “+” which is the same gun but with a full length grip. I’ve had it quite awhile, I’m not sure if it’s still made. I ordered it from Kimber the way I wanted. Seems to be a bit rare but what an excellent, comfortable and controllable shooter with bigger hands. My personal experience is that it has been extremely reliable, on par with any other gun I own. The full length grip does make it a little more printy, but years of biscuits and gravy have made me fat enough to hide it well.

[@tomgiorgini9154]

they don't make the plus anymore was a great gun

[@rexhanson2197]

I have several Kimber 9mm 1911 ,from 300 to 900 rounds the extractor needs to be tweaked after that NO PROBLEMS with them. My CDP is a wonderful shooter. Kinda like Glocks people either hate them or love them. The biggest POS 1911 I ever had was a 70 series Colt , the frame cracked but they would not warranty it and it wouldn't shoot 2 magazines without a jam. Don't have any Colts now won't waste my money of them over the years I've had about 10 of them only 2 worked. All my Kimbers work.

[@tomgiorgini9154]

colts are junk

[@RealEstateEntrepreneur]

I need to look at Kimber again. I have never seen this gun by them before.

[@ronolson2024]

I've found that night sights like those that come with the P365 series are only useful for locating the pistol on the night stand. When any light comes on, whether it be from your attached light or ambient light, the glow of the sights disappear and all sights look the same. (Try it!) And in daytime shooting, I've found fiber optic sights are much brighter & easier to pick up, and are the simply the best bar none. Some shooters prefer them with a blacked out rear sight, while I prefer contrasting rear and front fiber optic sights. I also have a Springfield Ronin Elite in 10 mm with a 4.25 lb. 1911 trigger pull. Although 1911 triggers are the best, you'll find little to no difference between shooting the 1911 and any good crisp trigger pull of the modern day striker fired pistols. Sigs & Glocks are not in this class (I have them both), but the CZ P10 series is, as well as the Caniks, VP9's, Walther PPQ & PDP's, and the Shield Plus's trigger. Sorry if I left any out, but haven't shot any others.

[@sgtawb6904]

I bought one of these in 45acp. My God what an absolute pice of crap that thing has been. The crap "kimpro" Finnish started flaking and coming off in less than a year. Out of the box it wouldn't even fire a magazine without FTE. Grip panels come lose when firing on and on. This POS I got was my first and last kimber.

I had a crimson carry of the ultra series, one of six Kimbers I owned. All were excellent and reliable. Of all the 1911’s I’ve owned, I only had 1 problem gun, and it was a Springfield Armory Champion. S.A. Couldn’t get it right after sending it back too. Kimber is my favorite sub $2k 1911 along with Colt, but it’s time to get a Cabot Or Nighthawk. Great video as always, Sootch!

[@Falla76]

I owned the Kimber Ultra CDP II years ago. It was unreliable and I didn’t care for how the rounds would keyhole the target. If you’re going to carry a single action 1911 as a concealed carry weapon, I would recommend a Wilson Combat, a Les Baer Stinger, an Ed Brown Kobra Carry or a Dan Wesson all in Commander size. I now live in Florida, so I typically carry a Glock 43, Glock 42 or Ruger LCP II (summer time), Sig Sauer P365 or maybe a Sig Sauer P938 (not sure about the P938 yet). I do own a Les Baer Custom Carry (5” Government Model) and it’s a blast to shoot, but I think carrying it on my thin 5’ 5” frame would be very difficult in terms of concealment and comfort. Rs

About 10 years ago I ordered a Night Hawk Carry Plus in .45 ACP. At that time the smallest 1911 in .45 was this model that NH made. that with a 3.8” barrel and an officer size grip. I was told this was the shortest barrel they made for reliability issues. Not long after I believe the shortest they made in .45 ACP, I believe went to 4.25” in .45 ACP, and 3.5” in 9mm with the Councilor model. It has been my experience that 1911’s in .45 shorter than the 3.8” barrel like 3-3.5” were not reliable at all. When I was a kid I was fascinated by the Tiny Detonics “ 1911” in .45 , But soon realized that the shorter 1911’s are not good to bet your life on. I walked into an armed robbery of an Eckerds drugs off duty carrying a Colt Officers model in .45 that almost got me killed if it wasn’t for luck; it jammed so bad. To me, when you go to the smaller barrel 1911’s in .45, its the JHP’s that are the worst, but. also included FMJ. Maybe as a Barbeque gun as you said, but I won’t carry any gun that might be used in self defense if its not really reliable. I have been watching your videos for a long time, but sometimes it seems that you will not give a negative review on any gun.

So how do they explain why they tell you that their pistols require at least a 500 round break in before carry use? Or that they tell you no gun is to be expected ready to use out of the box? Or that it's normal to have to send a new pistol back to them two or more times for work or adjustment before it's to be considered reliable? Have you looked at new pistols in the show case and seen all the tooling marks and metal chips in them, and they tell that's normal from anyone? And this is as of last year.

While I love the 1911 design, today (in 2024) there are a number of EDC options that are superior to this Kimber. Options from SIG, S&W, Glock, Walther, CZ, and others are lighter weight, higher capacity, and (often) less expensive. I carried a .45ACP 1911 Commander off duty for years, but today - the 1911 is for nostalgia and the range. I still love them, I just don't carry them.
